India’s healthcare sector is rapidly digitising. With initiatives such as the IndiaAI Mission and the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission, hospitals and healthcare providers are increasingly adopting digital records, AI-powered diagnostics, and agentic AI systems to modernise care delivery. An IDC InfoBrief commissioned by UiPath ranks healthcare and life sciences among the top three industries in India for agentic AI adoption, reflecting a decisive shift towards intelligent automation.
Yet, the path forward is stalled by a persistent 'pilot-to-production' gap. Most healthcare providers are held back by a tangle of fragmented systems, disconnected workflows, and compliance-heavy processes. Clinical, financial, and administrative workflows often run across multiple platforms and approval layers, making it difficult for AI initiatives to scale beyond isolated use cases.
